Santa Clara Firefighters protect people, businesses and environment within the city limits of Santa Clara. Our sole mission is to protect life, property and the environment from any type of emergency.
Santa Clara Firefighters are responsible for responding to all emergencies, including medical calls, HAZMAT incidents, Urban Search and Rescue incidents, vehicle accidents and much more. We respond to a wide range of calls for help.
While we don’t have many wildland urban interface areas in the city, we also serve the greater Santa Clara County and State of California through mutual aid agreements and respond to wildfires and USAR incidents throughout the State.
The community of Santa Clara is very diverse and we are prepared to handle the wide range of demographics and various types of occupancies. The city itself is 18.4 square miles. Within the limits the city has a population of 129, 488. The population substantially increases during the day for the influx of workers to the many businesses in the city. Some of the businesses we protect include NVIDIA, Dell, Apple,and Applied Materials. Santa Clara University, California’s Great America and Levi’s Stadium also fall within our jurisdiction.
